2008 Yorkville parking garage shootout

The 2008 Yorkville parking garage shootout occurred in the spring of 2008 when a force of corrupt SWAT and FBI personnel loyal to Marki Ashvili was lured into a parking garage in Yorkville, Manhattan, New York City by the Bulgarin crime family and wiped out in a massive shootout.

Background
New York City Russian Mafia boss Ray Bulgarin formed a rivalry with Georgian businessman Marki Ashvili in 2008 after Ashvili refused to sell the New York Rangers hockey team to him, and Ashvili reacted by using his connections with the American government to open an investigation against Bulgarin's criminal activities. Ashvili, a very wealthy man, managed to buy protection from the FBI and SWAT, and he had the federal agents track Bulgarin's SUV across New York City. Bulgarin got word of this, and he decided to hire Luis Fernando Lopez to help him with removing Ashvili's protection. Lopez, Bulgarin, and Ovchinnikov drove the tracked black Cadillac Escalade SUV into a parking garage in Yorkville, with the SWAT and FBI following them. Lopez set sticky bombs on the SUV and several surrounding vehicles, and the three criminals waited for the teams to arrive.

Ambush
Shortly after the sticky bombs were set, several SWAT troopers and FBI agents arrived in their vehicles, and the SWAT moved in to check the vehicle. They were surprised to find it empty, and Lopez detonated the explosives as they moved to inspect the car, beginning the ambush. Lopez, Ovchinnikov, and Bulgarin gunned down the SWAT and FBI agents in a massive gunfight, and they also fought against SWAT and FBI reinforcements. After several waves of enemies, they managed to leave the parking garage, killing some more federal employees. After they were all dead, they escaped in an FBI Dodge Charger Police Package sedan, driving back to Bulgarin's Forest Hills home. Bulgarin believed that Ashvili would be forced to sell the team to him after the shootout, but Ashvili still refused; Bulgarin had Lopez murder Ashvili at his office.
